The evening includes a sit-down dinner with chicken or roast beef as the main entree and all the trimmings on the side and a no-host bar will be available.

Raffles throughout the evening include several “big deals,” such as Jason Shirriff Neon Boulevard artwork, Chihuly booksets and golf packages. Gift cards in amounts of $50 to $100 have been donated from restaurants both here and in Las Vegas. Other gift cards will help with the Christmas shopping. Other items such as gift baskets and jewelry will also be up for grabs.

The live auction, with the ever-popular auctioneer, Ski Censke, will be bids for the decorated Christmas trees and wreaths decorated by the businesses and individuals sponsoring them. Decorating day was last weekend and the four trees and 14 wreaths are on display in the Mountain Falls Grill Room.

The event is NAH’s largest and most vital Pahrump fundraiser. The proceeds support its programs and services. Participation in sponsorship comes from the areas NAH serves, which includes Pahrump, Crystal and Amargosa Valley.

Individuals, businesses and organizations donate the funds to purchase the trees, wreaths and decorations and then decorate them for the event.

Stephanie Forbes, development manager for NAH said, “As the need for hospice and home-care services continues to grow in Pahrump, we are fortunate to have the generous help of the community to assist in funding our programs.”

She added, “NAH provides quality care and programs. We follow our mission that no one should end the journey of life alone, afraid or in pain.”

She said this event raises between $7,500 and $10,000 each year.

NAH was founded over 35 years ago following the death of Nathan Adelson, a hospital administrator, who cared deeply for his patients and employees. Following a long painful bout with stomach cancer, Adelson passed away. Family and friends close to him realized the need for health care specific to pain management and responded to the need.

NAH began providing home care hospice service in Southern Nevada in 1978. Its mission was stated to offer patients and their loved ones comprehensive end-of-life care.

NAH has been a trusted partner in hospice care and is the largest non-profit hospice in Southern Nevada. It cares for an average of 300 patients daily.

In 1983 the hospice opened an in-patient care facility in Las Vegas. The facility serves those who have no home or need care not possible in their home. When required the hospice transfers the patient to the facility from anywhere within its service area.

NAH provides comprehensive care to all in the community regardless of their ability to pay. In 2013, NAH provided hospice care for 3,086 patients. The underserved, within that number, are those who would not have been able to receive hospice care in any other way. Reasons include lack of insurance, working poor with little or no insurance or inability to pay out-of-pocket for care.

Each year NAH spends one million dollars for unbilled patient care.

The Nye County Republican Central Committee, with the participation of the Pahrump Valley Times, hosted a GOP debate last weekend for the contenders vying for the Republican vote in the 2020 primary election, with nearly three dozen candidates joining in to tackle a variety of topics pertinent to their various offices and thousands of voters watching over two days of discourse and debate.

The Pahrump Fall Festival is, hands down, the single largest community event in the valley each year but over the past few years, it has been dwindling a bit in terms of participation by vendors offering merchandise and goodies for the thousands of people who turn out on a regular basis. With this in mind, town and county officials have made the decision to revise the vendor booth fee schedule, lowering the prices in an effort to attract more vendors and make the 2020 Fall Festival a resounding success.

It’s been more than two months since the last community gathering was held in Pahrump and though certain restrictions are still in place regarding the number of people allowed to congregate in public or private settings, the town is now readying for the first large-scale public event since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nevada, its annual Movies in the Park.

Pahrump Valley motorists who regularly travel along Leslie Street might want to consider another route this Thursday and Friday, May 28 and 29, as the repaving project for the stretch of Leslie Street between Basin Avenue and Irene Street is set to take place over the next two days.

More than seven months after the Storm Area 51 event that had Nye County in an official state of emergency, the county now has a view of just how much the event cost it, with a reported $363,000 in unbudgeted expenses connected to the phenomenon that grew out of what was originally intended as a social media joke.

Even as we see improvement in the current pandemic, but continue the process of quarantine, isolation, hibernation and social distancing, do what you can by continuing to work at home, work with government programs and creditors.
